Pre-Purchase Digital Consultation Service PDF

 

A digital radiography installation will transform any veterinary practice. This transformation will be for the better if it is well planned, or can result in disaster if improperly executed. Without careful consideration of your hospital workflow, the specific needs of your practice, and your budget, you may find that you purchased the wrong digital radiography system or that you spent too much for a system you don't need.

Unfortunately, researching a digital radiography purchase can be a daunting task. Many veterinarians I speak with are confused about the digital radiography terminology and dont know which vendors claims to believe. Fortunately, we can help.

During the pre-purchase consultation we will discuss topics such as:

  • -Your hospitals needs
  • -DICOM
  • -The differences between the different systems you are considering
  • -PACS
  • -Monitor selection
  • -Price
  • -Service expecations
  • -Teleradiology
  • -Data Backup
  • -Assist with evaluating vendors sales offers

We have an extensive background in veterinary digital radiography and have assisted large referral practices, emergency practices, and many single and multi doctor practices in choosing a system that is right for their particular situation. Most veterinary practices report savings of $10-40,000 over what they would have spent on a system depending on their situation. Better yet, I am happy to offset the entire cost of the consult with a free teleradiology trial once the practice is configured.

If you would like to discuss your digital radiography options, please contact us for more information about what we can do for your practice.

 

*From time to time, we get asked about our business relationships with veterinary imaging vendors. Please read our full disclosure page for more details.
